The big deal today? The Last of Us: Part 2 was announced as being in development. Naughty Dog and Sony saved that announcement for last. Nice finale, really. It was said the game is still in early development, but the studio wanted to show it to fans anyway. Damn it. WE WANT IT NOW.
A new video for Yakuza 6 was shown along with news on Yakuza Kiwami, the remake of the original PS2 classic coming to PS4. A look at PaRappa the Rapper, Patapon and Loco Roco PS4 remasters was shown, each are coming to PS4 in 0217.

And of course, we got a new look at What Remains of Edith Finch from Giant Sparrow which recently gained a publisher through Megan Ellison’s film production company, Annapurna.
Sadly though, we didn't hear anything on Quantic Dream'sDetroit: Become Human, or Media Molecule’s PS4 exclusive Dreams.
And where the heck was news on Final Fantasy 7 Remake details or Kingdom Hearts 3? I'm a bit bummed over that, honestly.
We would have loved to have seen more on Rayman creator Michael Ancel's Wild, as it tickles our fancy a bit, but alas, that was not on show either.
While there wasn't much revealed today compared to previous years are which were full of announcements, it was decent all around.
Those attending PSX 2016 will be able try plenty of games thanks to the large number of publishers and developers attending the event. Many of the games shown on stage today will be playable at the event.
